Standard deviation: 15.75;with a sex ratio of 1.46. The majority of our patients had WHO III (54/121) or 44.6%;46.3% (56/121) of patients were in stage IV of the TNM classification. The main digestive cancers were cancer of the esophagus 4 cases (3.3%);of the stomach 61 cases (50.4%);of the pancreas 7 cases (5.8%);of the liver 4 cases (3.3%);gall bladder 2 cases (1.6%);colon 33 cases (27.3%);rectum 6 cases (4.9%) and hail 4 cases (3.3%). The average pain intensities were 3 to 6 hour;2 to 24 hour;1.6 to 48 hour;and 1.2 to 72 hour. The majority of our patients had a treatment protocol involving nefopam, and paracetamol was 58%. The pain was exacerbated especially during exercise. Vomiting and vein burning were the main side effects encountered.展开更多
